I fell in love with this line when I first saw it a few years ago. It is made in Lebanon and was founded in 2000 by Huda Baroudi and Maria Hibri. Bokja was born from this female duo’s shared passion for furniture, textiles, art and design. While Huda has spent her life collecting fabrics from the Silk Road, Maria is an expert in antique pieces of furniture with a hidden beauty. The two married their expertise and knowledge of traditional craftsmanship to start Bokja. Their clothing is a celebration beautiful textiles. Many of the fabrics are photo transfers of precious tapestries, works of priceless embroidery, and of rare textile art from around the world. They work with silk and silk satin to create extraordinary clothing: skirts, dresses, scarves, shirts, dresses and robes/coats. Many pieces are reversible, with exceptional tailoring and craftsmanship in their entire line.
